Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/16/23
By this time next week, I will be on the road for the family Christmas getaway! Should be a blast! But until then, we’ve got a few comics to read, though this was one of those very light weeks for me.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Outsiders #2 because it was marginally better than the only other comic I read this week. Also, this is a cool sea monster design.
Meanwhile, I finished off Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which ended rather anticlimactically. I then splurged on Super Mario Wonder as my last video game purchase for a while (gotta save money). Haven’t played it yet, but I’m quite excited. I also watched Blue Eye Samurai on Netflix this past week and it was pretty amazing! So consider that a big recommendation.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 12/2/23
It’s a quite week for comics, with only a pair of reviews I’m afraid. Works just fine for me! I’ve got a bunch of other stuff of my own brewing, and I can’t wait to share with all you loyal readers.
Comic Book of the Week goes to X-Men Blue: Origins #1 because I fully support this retcon and I simply didn’t read much else. I should have got caught back up on other comics, but nah.
Meanwhile, I’m still meandering my way through Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, except I’m more interested in collecting all the lightsaber and clothing hidden treasures than I am in the story, so the game is just me reading online guides so that I don’t miss any hidden boxes. Oh well.

Happy Halloween, everyone! We’re only a few days away from that glorious of all holidays! Too bad I didn’t read any spooky comics, and instead have some new issues of Captain America and Void Rivals.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Wonder Woman #2 for another strongly written, fairly badass comic book.
Meanwhile, I’m still working my way through Spider-Man 2, taking my time to enjoy as much of the game as I can and loving every minute of it. A lot has been spoiled for me because the internet is a terrible place, but I’ll survive and there will hopefully be a few surprises still to come.
Comic Reviews: Captain America #2, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #113, Void Rivals #5 and Wonder Woman #2.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/23/23
What an interesting week for comics! We’ve got a couple of new #1 relaunches, and DC Comics comes back after an event that stymied their titles for two months. Lot of great reads this week, including Nightwing, Captain America and Superman!
Comic Book of the Week goes to Wonder Woman #1 for a very strong, very powerful first issue that absolutely nails the tone its going for right off the bat.
Meanwhile, my time with Baldur’s Gate is winding down. I beat the game with a co-op friend finally, and now I’m just going to go through the motions to finish off some solo games, or put them on hold to wait for some game fixes. We’re a month away from the new Spider-Man 2 game, so I’ve got to get ready for that.
Comic Reviews: Captain America #1, Nightwing #106, Superman #6, Titans #3 and Wonder Woman #1.

Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 8/26/23
Some weeks you just don’t want to read comics. Sometimes a bunch of new comics come out, but you can’t work up the energy to read any of them, especially not when immersed in some Baldur’s Gate 3. But I for sure checked out the Captain America Finale, for one.
Comic Book of the Week goes to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #111 because the new storyline kicks off in dramatic, exciting fashion.
Meanwhile, I am definitely still playing Baldur’s Gate 3, though the bugs are starting to get to me. Some are directly impacting one of my playthroughs, and the internet tells me it gets a bit buggier towards the end. I’m starting to wonder if I should just stop playing and wait another year for the Definitive Edition that’s likely to come out. At least I can watch and enjoy the new Ahsoka show! Which reminds me, I have yet to play that new Jedi game that came out in the spring…
